Abstract

The proposed system adjusts the height of a station for feeding items in a packaging machine, in which the feeding station (A) is equipped with an outlet conveyor (C), which conveys the articles toward other working stations of the packaging machine.
The working stations include means for adjusting their height with respect to a common zero reference plane (P0) operated by a control unit (U).
The system (S) includes:
  • a lower stationary framework (1), which carries the station (A) and which is fastened to support means (T), an upper moving framework (2), which supports the feeding station (A), and driving means (3) for moving the framework (2) with respect to the stationary framework (1).
    • The driving means (3) are connected to the control unit (U), from which they receive an activation command (S1) corresponding to a height (H) for the outlet conveyor (C) determined in dependence of the height imposed by the adjusting means to other working stations.
    The driving means (3) move the moving framework (2) vertically with respect to the stationary framework (1), in order to position the outlet conveyor (C) at the fixed height (H) with respect to the reference plane (P0).
